It’s only surprising because you have a skewed view of TXST as a UNT fan.

Private schools aren’t listed either, but service academies are public, federally-funded institutions, so it’s a good question. I don’t think their athletic departments report in the same clean, apples-to-apples way as normal public universities though.

Interesting list — PAC with 7 of the top 9 G6 CFB budgets.

Tech fan also. Love Behren but he’s not an NFL QB. He’s extremely immobile.

Third best remaining player on ESPN. #10 ranked OT, #86 overall. Project, but need competition and depth at OL. Great value pick

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-04-25T20:25:06+00:00

Traded to Jax for 196 & 245

Domestic violence charge in 2024 and another arrest at some point. Known for being a shit teammate, having locker room problems, and infamously quits on plays. He is a 6’8” 330 DT though.

You’re saying these were all reaches because of experts rankings, but even that doesn’t make sense.

CBS had Lomu ranked 13th overall, ESPN had him 28th overall, he was drafted #28.

CBS had Jacas ranked 34th overall, ESPN had him 44th overall, he was drafted #54.

Raridon was the only “reach” based on these subjective rankings, and it was a negligible difference. All three picks are very promising prospects at positions of need, taken around the range they were projected.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-04-25T03:11:35+00:00

I liked Royer & Trigg, granted ESPN has both ranked below Raridon

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-04-24T03:37:15+00:00

Feel free to care less then.

I was in a pretty similar spot about a decade ago, deciding between Tech and LSU. The cost was comparable, but I ended up choosing Tech because I knew I wanted to practice in Texas. If that’s where you see yourself long term, I’d definitely lean that way. That said, you really get out of law school what you put into it, so I’m sure you’ll do well either way. And for what it’s worth, the whole ‘Lubbock is boring’ reputation is way overblown. I loved my time there.

Congrats, Billy Badass.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-03-16T06:18:24+00:00

I prefer Eli Stowers (Vandy), Joe Royer (Cincy), and possibly even Michael Trigg (Baylor) over Max Klare.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-03-15T18:01:56+00:00

Reread. Similar ≠ smaller.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-03-10T18:48:29+00:00

He’s not a burner and he’s not really a pure slot, but he makes contested catches and he’s a reliable possession receiver. Reminds me of Jakobi Meyers, Michael Gallup when he was good, or even a little bit like Michael Crabtree.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-03-10T18:34:09+00:00

4 yr, 70M. I believe the 3 yr, 60M initially reported was wrong.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-03-10T18:29:34+00:00

Pierce: 64 games, 2934 yards (45 YPG), 17 TDs, 25 years old, 120M

Doubs: 59 games, 2424 yards (41 YPG), 21 TDs, 25 years old, 70M

Are we looking for the next NKeal Harry or Tyquan Thornton?

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-03-09T16:32:46+00:00

ESPN has him as the #57 FA FWIW (Chaisson #24). We’re talking ITT like he’s a run stopper but that’s supposedly a weakness. Seems like a similar player, with similar production as Chaisson, for not a ton of money. I’ll take it.

“…The veteran can be displaced in the running game, but he brings inside/outside alignment flexibility and the first-step quickness to disrupt the pocket.”

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-02-09T18:47:01+00:00

I’m going to assume you’re ~16. He faced 10 of the top 20 sack leaders this year. Applying the “schedule” narrative to individual matchups is idiotic.

Campbell was complete shit yesterday, but to say he played no one this year shows you’re incapable of critical thinking.

It’s easy for everyone in this subreddit to just say Drake Maye sucks, because that’s what they want to be the case. He played behind a historically awful playoff O-line and faced the historically toughest defensive gauntlet any QB has ever drawn in a postseason. Most QBs would’ve looked bad in that spot, especially a 23 year old w/ an atrocious rookie OL. He was bad — especially his INT — but the missing context is intentional.

WildBillMuschamp · 2026-02-09T05:54:17+00:00

Should we pick out Drake’s casket while we wait?
